    I'm not sure what "query the API from a backend" means if it is a web app.
    What kind of tricky SOAP stuff is there?
     
    Perhaps off topic, we have been waiting almost 3 weeks for our AdSense
    approval. Is that normal? Is there a way to bump the process?

    from JavaScript might be tricky, and it's usually easier to query the
     
    API from a backend.
     
     
    If you have any specific question about usage from JavaScript please
     
    post it on the forum, I'll do my best to help you.
     
     
    Cheers,

    Hi,
     
    I'm sorry my previous answer wasn't clear enough, I'll try to explain
    with an example.
     
    Let's say that you have an application that displays a list of results
    obtained querying the API. After some user activity, you need to
    update the content of the list.
    From the JavaScript/HTML frontend you make an asynchronous call to the
    application backend, a server side application implemented in PHP,
    Ruby, Python... The backend queries the API, formats the results and
    returns the results to the JavaScript/HTML frontend that finally
    updates the list on the page.
     
    Regarding SOAP, there doesn't seem to be a lot in the way of support
    in Javascript, and what does exist has limited support. Most likely
    you will end up having to handle the SOAP XML parsing and generation
    yourself, as well as dealing with all of the authentication and error
    handling manually. In addition, you'll likely end up running into XSS
    issues, given that your page and the web service you're contacting are
    not in the same domain. The only way of getting around those would be
    to use a proxy page, in which case you're better off doing all of the
    SOAP requests server-side, as described on the paragraph above.
     
    Cheers,
    Silvano

    Do you have any JavaScript samples?

    Hello.
     
    We don't have JavaScript samples because in our experience SOAP usage
    from JavaScript might be tricky, and it's usually easier to query the
    API from a backend.
     
    If you have any specific question about usage from JavaScript please
